Welcome to Bridgewater School. Your individual journey starts here.
At Bridgewater School, we celebrate, support and nurture individuality.
We provide independent education for boys and girls aged 3-18 years in an inspirational setting that is inclusive, stimulating, supportive and totally focused on achieving every student's personal goals.
We are proud of our family ethos, our consistently outstanding results and our forward-thinking academic environment.
But most of all, we are proud to be part of each child's individual journey.
School Life
Early Years
In many ways, our early years are some of the most important in our lives. They can start to shape both who we are and our view of the world. That is why at Bridgewater School, we like to give young individuals an early idea of how inspiring and enjoyable school life can be.

Prep School
Finding the perfect learning environment for your child is as much about instinct as educational accomplishment. When you find the right school, it just instinctively feels right. Which is exactly the way you will feel when you experience the friendly and nurturing atmosphere of the Bridgewater Preparatory Department.

Senior School
At Bridgewater School, we believe that exam results are an end product of an outstanding rounded education rather than an end to themselves. Which is why discovering the future potential and core capabilities of every individual whilst enabling everyone to enjoy a rich and varied array of group and team activities, has been the cornerstone of our success.

Sixth Form
The two years of Sixth Form are the defining years of school life. The exceptional focus we can bring to all students through the intimacy and support of small classes, together with the support network of small tutor groups, can make all the difference. A difference which manifests itself in excellent A Level pass rates, year after year.

Small is beautiful. And altogether more successful.
Ever since the school’s inception in 1950, our family ethos has ensured that each young person is treated very much as an individual. Although the scale and academic stature of the school have grown alongside our new buildings and facilities, we are still small enough to know each young person by name and develop a true understanding of their specific needs and abilities.
